Trout

A Bowers Beach correspondent Of
a Wilmington paper says that trout
fishing is becoming less every year in
the waters off that place. Hundreds
Of bushels of trout, or weak fish by
which name they arr known in the
city markets, use to be caught and
sold TO farmers for fertilizer hut the
catches with seine nets have become 50
small as to not more than supply the
table demand with the poor mans
pork, as they are called in that section.
Old fishermen say that the reason Of
the trout famine is the wholesale
slaughter Of the king crabs. The crabs
come into the bay every year in great
schools to spawn, and are followed by
the trout, which feed upon their eggs.
The king crabs are very stupid and of
sluggish gait, and are captured on the
beach before they have spawned and
are piled up by the thousands in great
rough pens on the shores Of the mouths
of the numerous creeks emptying into
the bay. Here they are left to die and
TO pollute the air with as foul and I'M
healthy a stencil as can be imagined
until some time in the summer, when
they are loaded into vessels and taken
to Wilmington and Philadelphia and
ground up into fertilizers.
